The track eventually became ‘The One You Loved Is Gone’, a song included in ‘Living The Dream’, the most recent album from Slash and longtime collaborator Myles Kennedy.

Speaking to the Basel Meets podcast, the iconic guitarist said: “I wrote the intro [of the song] for The Walking Dead. Because at that time, The Walking Dead didn’t really have any other music outside of its score music and so I was trying to push them to play an original song on there.

“But they wouldn’t go for it ’cause it’s me and they don’t wanna have any recognizable existing names as part of The Walking Dead world. And so it never happened, but it was always a good musical idea.”
